Samsung Galaxy Z Flip’s Ultra-thin Glass does not appear to have defeated the dreaded crease

The flexible screens in folding smartphones are made of plastic, and creasing has become an expected fact of life for these devices.

We, however, had high hopes that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip would be an exception, due to being covered with Ultra Thing Glass, a unique Samsung feature.

A photo sent to Engadget which can be seen above has however dashed our hopes, as a crease can clearly be seen in the fold area.

Of course, this is not the end of the world, as the device will still be perfectly usable, and we may be looking at an early prototype which is not fully optimised. Still, given the experience with other folding phones, however, it seems likely we should reserve judgement till at least a few weeks of real-world use has been observed.

If you are still eager to pick one up, the full specs of the handset have already leaked, and can be seen below:
